VCarveParameterData

This object is used to hold the settings for a vcarving toolpath.

Constructor

VCarveParameterData()

Create a new object ready to have its parameters set

For Example:

local vcarve_data = VCarveParameterData()

Properties

.FlatDepth

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (double) If DoFlatBottom is true the toolpath will not cut any deeper than this depth below StartDepth.

.FlatDepthFormula

Interaction: Interaction: Read and Write Returns: (string) Formula for flat depth (see .FlatDepth for when used )

.Name

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (string) The name for the toolpath

.ProjectToolpath

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (bool) If true and used with Aspire, toolpath is projected onto model surface after calculation

.StartDepth

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (double) Start depth for toolpath below material surface

.StartDepthFormula

Interaction: Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (string) Formula for start depth for toolpath below material surface

.DoFlatBottom

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (bool) If true the toolpath depth will be limited to the value specified in .FlatDepth and the bottom of the carving will be flat.

.UseAreaClearTool

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (bool) If true, the area clearance tool will be used to clear the flat areas of the toolpath

For Example:

    -- Create  object used to pass vcarving options
    local vcarve_data = VCarveParameterData()
     -- start depth for toolpath
    vcarve_data.StartDepth = start_depth

     -- flag indicating if we are creating a flat bottomed toolpath
    vcarve_data.DoFlatBottom = flat_depth > 0.0

     -- cut depth for toolpath this is depth below start depth
    vcarve_data.FlatDepth = flat_depth

     -- if true in Aspire, project toolpath onto composite model
    vcarve_data.ProjectToolpath = false
